Air-Minded Canisians Form Flying Contingent
ELEVEN STUDENTS TAKE AERONAUTICS COURSE SPONSORED BY GOVERNMENT FOR CIVILIAN TRAINING
CANISIUS COLLEGE, BUFFALO, NEW YORK
December 20, 1940
search of higher education than that already offered beneath the Golden Dome, eleven Canisius students have tiikeii to the air-lanes under the gov¬ ernment sponsored aeronautics course. At the end of three months training, which includes thirty-five hours of flying and seventy-t\vo hours of ground school, the "Griffins on the Wing" will receive private flying licenses. The Beacon , Flying Ser¬ vice at Genesee Street and Union Road has become their alternate ahiia mater.
Float Thru The Air The flying course which began on October 15 is divided into four dis¬ tinct stages of eight, five, eleven and eleven hours respectively. In the first two sections the student pilot taices his flying, according to appoint¬ ment, in doses of one-half hour each.
During the latter two stages the time of flight is extended to one hour per hop. After the first eight hours each man is expected to solo in a Piper Cub, sixty-five horsepower ship. Before he is graduated from the course, the student must malce two cross-country flights of three liours each, one solo, one dual. The route followed is Buffalo to Roches¬ ter to Dansville and back to Buf¬ falo again.
Ground. School
\i'.
the air, six hours a week or seventy- two hours all told must be spent in ground school. Reverend Father Ormsby, who h.is had extensive flying experience, has charge of the ground¬ lings.
On the ground the student studies air traffic rules, civil aeronautics reg¬ ulations, aerodynamics, the theory of flight, the mystery of aviation, meteorology, air navigation, engines and parachutes. Particular empha¬ sis is laid upon the last item. The ground class visited the Buffalo air¬ port to study facilities and equip¬ ment.
Student Interviews Touching the human interest angle, interviews with several of the student pilots have been secured. When asked concerning his reaction to solo flying, Mr. Francis Winkler said, "At first I had some trouble keeping the ship and my stomach on an even plane, now I only have trouble with my stom.ich." Mr. Willie Wilson, when approached said, "Flying requires steady nerves, I smoke Chesterfields."
The students enrolled in the fly- -mg course are: Gene Rooney, Marshall Schroeder, Francis Wink¬ ler, Will Wilson, Jack Then, Wil¬ liam Conley, John Byrd, William Domedian, Urban Pauly, Ted Trumpfeller and Anthony Palunibo.

Shutter-Bugs Meet
The photographers held their first regular meeting on Wednesday in Room 827. Ray Kielich, vice-president of the organization, spoke on lenses, diaphragms, and shutters — tracing the development of this important phase of photography from the primitive pinhole camera to the modern precision instruments for picture-making.
A sliort discussion took place after the talk, and several new members were admitted. A lecture on the technique of printing and enlarging will be given by another club member on the first Wednesdiiy follow- '"g the Christmas holidays- Members are urged to bring their favorite prints for discus¬ sion and critidsm.
"Liberty is not the right to do whatever one pleases, nor is it the necessity of doing whatever a dicta¬ tor wills, but rather it is the right to do what one ought." This is the concept of liberty presented to the Suaraquin Circle by John M. Phelps in his discussion of Right Reverend Monslgnor Fulton Sheen's book "Freedom Under God."
It was pointed out that the most erroneous form of liberty today is that of indifference to truth, moral¬ ity, justice and the social good. Many have a subjective instead of an ob¬ jective concept of right and wrong, for they believe that if all .agree a thing is right or wrong, it must necessarily be so.
Freedom Spiritual
Freedom, Mr. Phelps pointed out, is above all else a spiritual right and not merely a constitutional or a natural or a human right. Democ¬ racy must, if it is to fulfill its end, recognize the purpose and end of man, for man possesses inalienable rights which are neither created nor conferred by the state and conse¬ quently cannot be taken away or be denied by the state.
Man is immanent in the social or¬ der in that all human actions take place within and are for the sake of the mrin. He also is transcendant to the social order for while he is a political animal, he is also a theo¬ logical creature.
Requisites for Freedom
Reverend Joseph F. BegL-in, S.J., moderator of the Circle, postulited three requisites for a proper integra¬ tion of 1.1W and order. "There must," he said, "be unanimity of thought and conduct and a competent

Many novelties have been promised by Joseph Cutrona and James McDontild, co-chairmen of the affair, who are still gloating over having signed an outstanding band to play for this annual event.
"Forgotten Man" Trophy
Promptly at 11:50, diincing will be stopped and the "Forgotten Man" trophy, donated by' the Azuwur staff, will be presented. Immediate¬ ly following this, Jack Coffey and his boys will swing out to the strains of the Canisius Marching Song, and the "Forgotten Man" will lead the dancers in a Grand March.
Following this, there will be the usual intermission, with the presenta¬ tion of novelty acts by the orchestra. Mimicry Avill be featured and Jack Coffey will present, musical impres¬ sions of other well-known orchestras. These are only a few of the novelties which have been planned for the af¬ fair. Many others are kept as sur¬ prises.
Full Use of Hall
In order to insure the crowd of a grand evening, unhampered by would-be cmshers and lobby-fillers, the chairmen have arranged to ex¬ clude everyone from the Music Hall except those who have tickets for the Hop.
There are no other affairs to be held in the Concert Hall that eve¬ ning, so Canisius will hiive full pos¬
session of facilities necessary to pro¬ vide an' enjoyable and comfortable time for all, despite the size of the crowd.
Ticket Return
Richard Egan, chairman of the ticket committee, has mentioned that due to the unusually popular orches¬ tra signed for the affair, a large number of tickets has been distrib¬ uted.
He will take returns on tickets to¬ day from twelve until two o'clock and on December 26, the day of the dance, from ten until four o'clock. Returns may also be made near the information booth at any other time.
Eugene F. Hayes, honorary chair¬ man, has announced that the affair will be a homecoming for the Alumni. He has extended an invita¬ tion to those graduates of the past few years who are pursuing degrees at other colleges and who will be home for the holidays, to attend the biggest and best of Canisius Dances.
Broadcast Pending Paul Barry Cotter, music chair¬ man, is trying to arrange with Sta¬ tion WKBW for a wire into Klein¬ hans Music Hall to carry Jack Cof¬ fey's usual half-hour C.B.S. program out of Buffalo. Coffey is heard on the networks six nights weekly, and at least four of his programs are car¬ ried by the Buffalo station.
The Columbia outlet stations in Cleveland, Chicago and Detroit, air Coffey's programs nightly and have extended congratulations to the com¬ mittee.
Those who arc interested, may se¬ cure a free ticket for selling eight. The subscription for, the affair is but two dollars, in advance, the best buy of the year. Dancing will start at teii and last until two. Dress is semi-formal. Holly corsages are in order.

Among the new numbers to be sung by the group are: "Bring the Torch, Jeanette Isabella" and "Hos¬ podi Pomiloi", a song m.ade famous by the Don Coss<acks.
Salesmen Paged By Azuwur Staff
Sciolino Hurls Attractive Offer At Feet Of Enterprising Men
Nino R. Sciolino, advertising man¬ ager of the Azuivur, is extending an invitation to all students to make ex¬ tra pocket money by selling adver¬ tising for the yearbook. One ener¬ getic student has already secured commissions amounting to ten dol¬ lars simply by spending a little extra time obtaining advertising contrticts. A commission of ten per cent is given on all advertising. Blanks m.ay be secured from any one of the Azuwur editors, Eugene H.ayes, James McDon.ald, Joseph Cutrona, Kenneth Gerold and Richard Egan. Subscriptions Sought The Azinvur is open to sale to all students and orders may be placed with any of the editors, Kenneth Gerold, circulation manager has an¬ nounced. A deposit of three dollars is asked with each order.
For the convenience of the under¬ classmen, Editor-in-Chief Hayes has decided to appoint an Azuwur repre¬ sentative in each class.
Designs Ready Homer DcWalt, Art Editor, hjis just completed a series of beautiful designs for the book, all blending in with the patriotic theme, "The Model American."
The cover sketch is unusually at¬ tractive and sets the tone of the en¬ tire publication.
Club News All organizations are requested to have their secretaries write out a de¬ tailed account of their group's activi¬ ties and plans for the present schol¬ jistic year. All such materi-al must be in the hiinds of John Cass, Club Edi¬ tor, on or before February 1.
HE annujil Christ¬ mas Drive, spon¬ sored by the St. Vincent de Paul Society has been a most successful one. "The attain¬ ment of our goal," said Reverend J. CLayton Murmy, S.J., Modenator of the Society, when interviewed after the climax of the drive had been re.ached, "was realized .as a result of one hundred per cent co-oper.ation on the part of each and every student. "The Society wishes to thank all who engaged in this truly charitable work and especially the Commerce Club and Glee Club for their special donations. May tKe Infant Jesus open His heart to you all on Christ¬ mas Morn as a reward for your ef¬ forts." . ¦ : ;; Gifts Distributed
Two hundred pounds of candy were presented to the poor children living in St. Peter Claver's, St. Lucy's and St. Francis of Assisi par¬ ishes. The patients of the Marine Hospital arc to be the recipients of gifts of cigarettes.
All those, especially those with automobiles, interested in the work of distribution of clothes, food, etc., to needy families are urged to hand their names in at the Student Coun¬ sellor's Office in the Basement or to one of the members of the St. Vin¬ cent de Paul Society. As many families .as possible, probably fifty, as last year, are expected to receive such ' Christmas'gitts7 ' ' "" '
Corporate Communion On the feast of the Immaculate Conception, December 8, the Soci¬ ety attended M.ass at St. Michael's Chapel, following which a breakfiist and business meeting w.as held at Hotel Lafayette. At the business meeting, the destined successful Christmas Drive was pl.aced under the special guidance of our Blessed Mother.
That evening, a banquet at Father Baker's was attended by the St. Vin¬ cent de Paul Societies of the Diocese. Six hundred heard the report of the Societies given by the Reverend John J. McMahon, Diocesan Director. Among the illuminating details con¬ cerning the works of the organiza¬ tions, the f,act that $22,000 w.as spent for charity during the last year was made known.
Crib Erected Continuing the practice of having a Christmas crib in adoration of the Infant Jesus, the Society has erected a simple model in the far end of the first corridor. After various other representations, illustrating the Christmas motif, the St. Vincent de Paul Society in 1936 renewed the crib idea which has been followed ever since.
Commerce Club Picks Jack Cass
John Cass, senior member of the Canisius Commerce Club, has been chosen chairman of the organization's annual closed dance scheduled for the Chinese Room of the Hotel Statler. The eve of the Semester Holiday hiis been set .as the tentative date for the affair. Only paid members in good standing will be .admitted. Parties Slated Immediately after the Christmas holidays another of the now famous Commerce Club bowling parties will be held in St. Gerard's Bowling Alleys. All members are expected to attend the affair, which promises funi and exercise.
Following the Chrlstni.as vacationj the group will sponsor a dinner meet¬ ing at Lorenzo's Restaurant. The meeting scheduled for December 12 was cancelled at the last minute, and shated for next month.. ¦
